Description
We are Cedric & Abigail, 37 years old, living in the South of France with our 16 months old baby. We are launching a beautiful project with a greenhouse to produce organic food, we aim to set up a pedagogic farm for schools and plant more fruit trees.The project aims to reconcile all generations with environment, raise awareness about nature and sustainability.
It is a private self sufficient homestead, producing for our own consumption. This summer, we welcomed schools and we wish to open to youngsters and all publics to reconnect with nature.
We have been cocreating this project together from scratch for only 2 years, so we're still at the beginning. We have decided to dedicate our lives to it because this is what feels right for us. We are now reaching out for help because we feel our energy gets a boost when people like you come and share tasks and activities with us!
This project takes place in the beautiful green heart of La Farlède between sea and mountain. We have a few tents (under trees) to accomodate you in.
You will get to know the French culture and the language!
If many Workawayers are here at the same time, then we can organise a rotating system where 1 person a day cooks for all, so we'll be able to discover many dishes from different countries!
Experience is a bonus but not essential. We also need help with gardening, landscaping, general help in the house, including moving furniture or equipement, looking after baby, walking the dogs... (only if you are happy to)
Our family (father and grandmother) live on the same ground, so we'll ask you to respect their privacy.
A minimum of 2 week stay is best for us.
We do not provide breakfast, but we will provide organic food for lunch and diners.
This project is for you if you:
- like nature
- like helping out
- like sharing
- like being in a community
- can be adaptable
- like taking responsabilities
- are proactive and like taking initiatives
- are automous
We look forward to having fun and sharing with you !
